LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE!

Nelson Del Valle- 2009 5th Performance Mares with Encantadora CC Krystal Miller - 3rd Grand A/O Performance Mares with Encantadora CC Despite a rough start at Nationals with the placements, we ended with a BANG!  Ross Beckman brought home the 3rd Grand National Ribbon with his Fino Stallion, Atomico.  Krystal  Miller brought home the 3rd Grand National Ribbon with her Performance Mare, Encantadora and finally, but not least, our own, Nelson L. Del Valle brought home the roses with our Performance Mare Encantadora CC.  We have had the best year to date with our crew.  Nelson, Christian and Ivan have made this year better then ever with their hard work, sense of humor and ethics.  Our business is busting at the seams with horses and pride.  We would also like to thank all our clients for their trust in us to do the best job possible.  The one thing we have learned is that no matter what happens at a show, we are a family and will always support, encourage and protect those around us.

What a year we have had.  A perfect year!  We now have the best trainer around.  Nelson worked harder than anyone can imagine to get our horses in shape and in good attitude for a the show year.  As I am sure you all know we had an almost unstoppable blue ribbon streak throughout the whole year.  The amount of smiles, laughter, hugs and good spirit where better than any ribbons we have gotten this year.  We have made so many friends and discovered who were our true friends.  As you can see in our photos, we are the happiest that we have ever been and can not wait till next show years starts!  Nelson, Christian and Pancho you guys are the best!  You have helped us reach a level that we never thought possible!  Thanks guys we all love you.

Krystal &Encantadora WOW, how do I begin.  The beginning  of this show year began with firing one of our trainers and leaving us with one.  We barely  made it through.  We are thankful that our girls are accomplished riders and where able to handle things with little difficulty.  We are so proud of our girls,  Michelle and Krystal.  You girls have made everything worth it.	Krystal & Encantadora Michelle & Toby 6th Pleasure Youth Michelle & Toby 3rd Pleasure A/O  4yr.Colts  Encantadora CC 5th Performance Mares Michelle & Toby Again thanks to our family, friends and clients for helping us with your prayers, hugs, laughter and tears.  You will never know how much you all mean to us.  We are looking forward to next year with Nelson Del Valle joining our team.  We know that with Nelson training, things will get a lot better around here.  Both in training quality, honesty, work ethic  and in attitude!  Can't wait for 2008!

(just a little).

Michelle Miller & Azucena del Juncal  6th Pleasure Jr. Youth Nationals this year was a real roller coaster ride.  With all three of our daughters involved.   Again we would like to thank Beth Uelsmann for all she does for us.  Nelson Del Valle, you work so hard for us and always have a smile on your face.  Thank you for being such a great role model for our girls.  Gail Ingham, Rachel would not still be smiling if it weren't for you.  Thank you so much for allowing us to use Oropel.  We will always be grateful to all of you for all you do for us.
